And the men who enable them by pretending to be into it just for sex are just as bad

    I dunno man.. guys are into some cringy shit too... I mean Myer-briggs personality types are basically astrology for nerds. Every time i see a guy claim he's some INTJ, i wince a little.

    And how about Alan Moore occult shit? That stuff can definitely cringy as well and i've seen a lot of people take it very seriously.

    But among all the pseudo spiritual beliefs culturally socialized into guys; the one that makes me roll my eyes the most is that "Pierce the heavens" "i'll be the man" "Hero's journey" mentality. And yes i know this thing is spoon fed into guys from a very young age; But holy shit: How many guys in the history of humanity out there have gotten a condescending pat in the head when they put on their hero pose and claim the equivalent of being the "best pokemon master" How many women go along with this only to socialize?

    And for fucks sake: How socially deprived do you have to be not to realize that most people out there just tolerates and accepts all sort of harmless odd quirks and beliefs in sex partners, friends and family just to get along?
